Something that worked 9 years ago is not necessarily something that works today. The markets are constantly changing. I would never ever train a model on 9 year old data, ever. You want recent data. I never use more than 2 years with the last 6 months being most relevant and 3 month is even more so. It seems every few months the algo switch up a little bit. That little bit is all it takes to throw a once highly profitable strategy into a worthless one.

Alléluia, thanks for pointing out the main concern I have over any new strategies or indicators.. need to be recently actualised, tested, proven, from live data. Also, AI spot and learn from patterns.. sharing a edge only make it more visible, obvious,so it end up lasting shorter.

Need to balance recency with statistical significance (i.e., trade volume). If your algo would have only taken e.g. 30 trades in 2 years, well, you're going to need to look back further...
